Com missioner Matthews has received a
letter from gentleman in London, request
ing copy of his report and inclosing the
following item cut from the Scottish Leader !:
In the collection of statistics bearing on
the economic conditions of the mass of the
population the United States are far ahead
of this country. An illustration of this truth
has Just been supplied by an inquiry institute
ed by the Bureau of Labor Statistics in the
State of Maine. The depreciation of prices
is phenomenon that has had ample recogni-
ton all over the civilized world during the
past few years: and attempts have been
made. BY Mr.. Gifeu and others, to guage its
precise extent in Great Britain, but only
with imperfect data, and consequently with
merely approximate results. In Maine the
Labor Statistics Bureau has recently consti-
tuted systematic inquiries, in order to ascer-
tain what is the cost of living when compared
with what it was in 1871 and 1852. Facts
have been collected from families represent
ing different grades of the population; and
the result is found to be that so far as food
and other necessaries are concerned the
purchasing power of money is II per cent.
greater than it was 10 years ago, and IA per
cent in excess of what it was FIVE years since.
The appreciation of money has been quite as
marked in this country as in America; SO it
is reasonable to conclude that sovereign
will now go as far as 23s I'D would in 1871
a fact which ought not to be lost sight of IN
any estimate of the present condition OF the
wage-earning classes.
Mr.. Matthews has done some work in the
line indicated which will appear in the re-
mort and will make it prominent feature in
his second annual report.

TIE GOSPEL MEETINGS.
Tni CLosrxe DAY.

At the O'Clock Bible reading DR.. Pepte-
cost finished his rapid review of the bsoks
OF tne new testament, giving key or catch
word to serve as a helpin study. This series
OF lectures on the Bible has been one of the
most valuable features of the meetings.
Very many have gained new love for the
Bible and great help and stimulus to fur
ther study. Like every true revival of re-
iigion, this work has been based on revived
interest in Gods word. At the farewell
meeting in the evening there assembled one
OF the very largest congregations, filing the
church and the aisles, After prayer, Mr..
Stebbins, Miss Cross and Mr.. Skeele sang.
Tome unto me. DIR. Pentecost spoke a
lew words in farewell, saying, I'VE have
come to the last of our meetings. This,
believe, has been genuine revival of re-
iigion. If there has been disappointment to
any that their friends have not been moved,
yet there il far more abundant thanksgiving
for its blessed and manifest results The
word has been sharper than two edged
sword the spirit of God has been working
in us; He has searched our hearts; He has
carried on the work of sanctification; many
Christians have received new impulse to
life and work, and we have 10 thank the Lord
for more than hundred souls brought to
Jesus Christ. But eternity only makes rev.
elation Of what Gods word aud spirit have
done. have a word of grateful thanks to
God for the cordial fellowship of the asso-
| ciated pastors and for the sympathy and
helpfulness of many Christian friends in the
city,"
Mr.. Stebbins offered a tender and feryent
prayer, and then sang with Miss Cross "A
morning land" The sermon was from Cor
8 30. 1--WE pray you in Christs stead, be
ye reconciled to God" 4 most earnest and
moving appeal to act upon Gods offer of
reconciliation in Christ. Mr.. Stebbins and
scarlet" Miss Cross has the sincere thanks
of all for the efficient assistance she has so
kindly rendered in the service of song.
| A brief after meeting was held, at the end
of which DIR. Pentecost pronounced the
benediction upon the people, A throng Of
friends pressed forward to say farewell, and
most fervently wished the brethren Golsperd
as they departed.
Thus closes a most precious season Of
united labor. With rejoicing and thanks
giving to God for what has been accom-
plished, we yet regard the work, not as end
ing here, but as at its beginning, and conf
increasing power throughout the winter.

H T. Morse Hook and Ladder Co.


1t has been the great endeavor of our
chief engineer, Mr.. II. T. Morse, for the past
few years, to have the city provide a good
and efficient hook and ladder truck for the
protection of the property of the city. He
has always insisted that no fire organization
was complete and efficient without the as
sistance of hooks and ladders and well
drilled company TO use them. Al last he
succeeded in getting very fine, light and
strong truck, ordered by the city authorities
and it came here. Then came another hitch,
there being no appropriation to pay company.
Mr.. Morse went to work and by untiring eff
fort and with the assistance of Mr.. j. Getch-
ell and some of our most prominent citizens
who appreciate the use of such a company, an
best young men of our city, full of muscle
and vigor, ready and willing at any time to
answer to calls of duty. 1t is purely volun-
teer company, running without pay and self
supporting. As this may fall hard on some
of its members they earnestly ask the support
of the citizens ''whose property they are
pledged to protect" just enough to uni
form its members and pay such in
cidental expenses as are naturally
incurred. No citizen knows at what
time he will be called on to ask their aid,
and perhaps their assistance may be worth a
home or a great amount of valuable property.
Rather than to go around begging they get up
a ball to take place on Friday night, Dec. %,
where Pullen will furnish the very excellent
music he is noted for. Concert from to 0.
There will be refreshments served at the hall
by the popular caterer Mr.. l.. B. Weaver.
We can safely say to the public that no pains
has been spared by the company to make this
a first class dance, and lovers of it can find
ample opportunity to get their fill All of
our citizens should buy ball ticket
whether they dance or not to help
this thing For we must remember
that they do not gain much by it, while they
on these cold winter nights may be called out
of their beds at any time to protect our
property. We should encourage the enter
prise of these young men. as without asss-
lance they cannot live as company. We
shall not fully appreciate them until some
fire breaks out when our praise will probably
be showered upon them. But let US meet
their earnest endeavors half way at least with
material assistance.

Three new pictured windows have just
been placed in St. Marks church for which
special form of benediction was used at
morning service on Sunday. The one in the
nave represents our Lord blessing little
children and is memorial of the infant
child of Mrs. H. W. Bradbury. The other
two are on the north and south sides of the
chancel respectively. That on the north is
apicture of the Nativity, on the south Of the
Resurrection. The former as memorial OF
the late Bishop Armitage of Wisconsin, the
latter of the Rev Professor johnson of

and executions of all three is remarkably fine
and in harmony with the rest Of the glass.
